That was quite a long life. Never was a Starsky & Hutch fan, but I was aware of their cultural popularity.

They changed the show. It was a very dark and violent show at first, but the squealers got it repackaged on the fly into a pseudo comedy, which was pretty much the same as the movie decades later. The show melted like an ice cube and the do-gooders moved on to their next target, even way back then.

He was the second brother in that cheesy “Here Come The Brides” thingy too. Bobby Sherman became the singer in that one.

80 years old. I know a number of people saying they can’t retire because their money will run out before they are 95.
